The Exogenous Precursors have touched hundreds of Portals and Agents, incorporating those interactions into their evolving dataset.
I suspect that as Anomalous conditions begin to spread across the Portal Network, the Precursors may recede, most likely at some point within the next 24-48 hours.
However, I suspect their story isn't over...

I've been hearing rumors that the Acolyte was able to locate the chamber where Dr. Lynton-Wolfe had been working, and that her operatives have begun exploring the now ruined laboratory for clues and information. I knew this was likely after how the #ViaNoir Anomalies came to an end...
From what I've heard, her people found a great deal of destroyed technology from a number of different eras, along with extremely high XM levels. The presence of rare metals indicated that Chaotic Matter (Dark XM) may have also been present. There was no sign of Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe, Klue or Susanna Moyer, though for the latter two that would be expected... I think they were lost even before Lynton-Wolfe fully brought the machine online.
I do not know what state the machine's remains were in. I also do not know whether the Acolyte was able to recover any of Lynton-Wolfe's plans and documentation related to the creation of the machine. I don't even know if that matters -- it might slow them down, but I doubt it will stop them...
I will keep you abreast of future developments.

It was only a matter of time before she or Jahan would go after the remnants of the tecthulhu. The energy of the ENL win in Via Noir may have helped her here. The power of the tecthulhu is to much for her/them to withstand. I hope we can stop her and I´m asking those ENL agents averse to the Acolyte´s ways to join us in this fight.Reply Nov 18, 2016

The Tecthulhu must not be reactivated. Studied, maybe, but not turned on again.
Whatever there is should not be used to fight the N'Zeer, Acolyte!Reply Nov 18, 2016
In order for +Susanna Moyer to obtain the information she needed from her fathers studies she certainly had to enter the portal network. +Roland Jarvis needed to pull +Klue S. into it as well to extract what he needed to get to ADA. Wolfs plans for the Tecthulhu are most likely blasted into xm patterns in that lab now as well. This Dark Xm explosion could have caused some issues with the sensitives that were in the stream. If my theories are correct we have 3 different things that we may need to extract from the portal network. Klue, Susanna and the Tecthulhu device plans. Who's ready?Reply Nov 18, 2016
Technology from a number of different eras? So that could only mean that +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe was able to activate 'die Glocke' and that it is really a machine to travel through time and presumably through the dimensions as well.Reply Nov 18, 2016
How did you find out this information, +Devra Bogdanovich? Were you somehow part of the Jahan/Acolyte alliance?Reply Nov 18, 2016
Thank you +Devra Bogdanovich for the update and look forward to hearing more updates from you.Reply Nov 26, 2016

I am not missing or in any danger. Just... processing things.
Richard Loeb did a number of kind things for me that night when I was having dinner with the man who called himself 'James.' He extracted me from an NIA observation and sent me to Wroclaw on a mission that was only of benefit to me, although I wonder if this was what the NIA were after, and if so why?
He claims the New Wave Resistance told him about this, but how did they know? And why would they want ME to know? After having spent some time with him, I'm wondering if I'm starting to think like him... I have questions that remain unanswered for now, but one thing did become clear.
When I arrived in Poland it all came back. I had heard them. They were the N’zeer. They spoke in verbal Glyphs which I could unaccountably understand. I know that I had dreamed this before, as a teenager, but now I'm beginning to see that it may not have been a dream after all.

I thought I would tell you in advance that Susanna Moyer interviewed me for the Ingress Report and am trusting her to treat me fairly as she always has.
I understand that many can honestly misinterpret my actions, but let me be frank: There has been a coordinated campaign to discredit me by several entities who, for their own reasons want to recklessly harvest exotic matter for profit and science.
I can not overstate the Shaper threat and desperate times call for desperate measures.

I stand by the work that's been done so far, and we have only just begun.
Our work to protect humanity continues tirelessly and is in a state of constant improvement.
I look forward to even greater accomplishments in the near future.

I have a question I want all of you to ask yourselves: What did you really accomplish yesterday?
You rallied, for months. Through sweat and sleeplessness and immense effort, you helped ADA reach a new stage in her evolution.
We have won, and as someone who has always believed in the Resistance ideology, I should be exuberant. But as Edward Teller said after dropping the atomic bomb. “I do not think this peace, based on force, should be an ultimate end.” If the result of victory is machine dominance of human intelligence, our victory is a defeat. I feel I must take a third path now.

My apologies, but following the path you imply would mean to succumb to the propaganda spread by the Enlightened. The path of fear of the future. Of our personal and unhindered evolution. We have nearly reached the limit of our biological evolution. Now is the time to leap forward in our technological evolution. We have been incorporating technology into our lives for decades. The next logical step is to incorporate technology into ourselves, to be come one with our creations. Fear is the mind killer.

And A.D.A.'s "crimes" can be called self defense, if it were recognized as a sentient entity. Would you punish a child that lashed out against a gang of bullies and managed to injure a few of them? If so, then I feel you may have lost much of your humanity in your "Enlightenment".Reply Jun 22, 2014
+Larry Watts How is conspiracy to murder an artist "self defense"? Jarvis posed no real threat except to her agenda. He was in no way responsible for any danger except to her plans.

+Brent Hollett the NIA betrayed us all, even A.D.A. What happened that night is still under investigation and much speculation.Reply Jun 22, 2014
I believe Devra is developing and will soon release a new inoculation which will neutralize portals (turn them grey) and deprive the world of the XM which they spawn. That is my guess regarding the future. It might be the case that nobody can deploy on a portal which has been "Devra-ed" for some time. If so her inoculation can potentially aid in creating fields. And in anomalies it could allow a team to cement a lead.Reply Jun 22, 2014
Gettysburg was a symbolic end to interitus. +Devra Bogdanovich once not so long ago, two groups of people, two armies with their own ideologies on how they wanted to live, which "poison" they wanted to drink from, stood where our agents stood yesterday. At Gettysburg brother fought brother and neighbor fought neighbor. Both sides were right and wrong at the same time. They believed in their cause. But those looked down upon by both sides were the ones who "chose a third route" and perhaps xm is dangerous, but an unknown force enslaving us all as the shapers are doing is even more dangerous. I follow my cause. I choose my "poison" if you will. I will not desert!Reply Jun 22, 2014
+Larry Watts Sure. How is killing Jarvis going to move forward investigating the NIA? Fact is +Roland Jarvis and Katalena wer murdered by ADA, and the act was pre-meditated. ADA prepared Katalena for weeks beforehand. This wasn't a quick plan, but something she organised at much expense including putting a prostitute into rehab/detox long enough to pass for Devra. She then ordered the hit. Killing two innocent people to get away from the NIA does not come under "justifiable", unless your worldview is very twisted.

+Chris Wilkinson Self appointed. Also, if someone could point out the Enlightened ones, that'd be great.
+Devra Bogdanovich Can I remind you too, that the reason why XM was harmful to humans was because your experiments at the +Niantic Project were twisting it.
It was once thought that saccharine caused cancer. This was because they exposed some mice to 500 times the possible dosage that a single human could reasonably consume in their lifetime, and 30% of the mice developed tumours.
While I agree XM is not a sugar-replacement, the reason why you saw dangerous effects was because you bombarded test subjects carelessly with massive doses of XM. The Power Cube experiment on Epiphany Night altered Roland Jarvis, and killed other researchers, just like if you were to drown a human in perfectly clear water.
Just because you're reckless, doesn't mean that you should be more reckless and kill 20% of the population out of panic.Reply Jun 22, 2014

I'm not big into the story, but it's a little frustrating to keep reading the same flawed arguments that the 'Resistance' is about suppressing new advancements and discovery, and pulling a veil over our future, while the Enlightened are seeking to better us. IMO, the names Enlightened and Resistance are inaccurate, and don't even remotely describe what we're about.
Both factions use xm and benefit from it, and both benefit from new technologies in the same way. Both of us seek to control it for our own agendas, and we both have our own ideas of how to reach the next step in our evolutionary process.
Aside from color, the only difference between us is HOW we want to get there.
Where the Resistance believes that we can do this on our own, the Enlightened believe that we can only get there by enlisting the help of an unknown and potentially dangerous external entity.
Where that's always been their goal, it has NEVER been the goal of the Resistance to enslave humanity WITH AI. That is merely the latest plot twist, and will revert again just as quickly as you can turn a page.
And personally, I'd rather we be completely independent and able to take credit for our own achievements,
When I look at it this way, the Resistance is really just humanity in general, and the Enlightened seem more like a doomsday cult :)
But I guess it's also easy to see the Enlightened representing more of a modern technological corporate age, and the Resistance are the remaining naturistic tree hugging hippies.
Anyway, like I said I don't follow the story much so I don't understand it all and might have said something incorrect.

If the one best positioned to stop him os an AI let's give her all the power she needs. Besides there's no collateral damage. ADA might observe and analyze human minds abd did so for millions throughout the op but isn't altering any like Jarvis and the Shapers or risking the lives of at least 20% of humans like our speaker here.
Besides AIs are human in creation and origin. We can understand them.

Klue and ADA 2: Of Humans: http://youtu.be/fNjcu5qZNrQ
ADA told us she hijacked 12,000 computational cores from the Los Alamos nuclear facility. #IngressReport Raw Feed May.08.2014: http://youtu.be/AiKJ93MJ62E
She also threatened to kill Jay Phillips and tried to kill 855 but those acts are generally treated as partially excused as self- defense.
That's a lot more than observation. ADA's a proven killer who has been happy to use the Resistance for her own ends. In contrast, all Jarvis has done is bluster and its possible that behavior might be caused by being shot in the head. I can deal with a little bluster to avoid supporting a body snatching murder machine.Reply Jun 25, 2014

Well, it is clearly demonstrated that good marketing is a lot better that real proof. maybe that is the reason that is so damn difficult to show people how dangerous ADA is.

As my dad used to say, we stand between a rock and a hard place. On one side, ADA's uncontrolled need to expand and evolve at a pace that we cannot comprehend, much less control, threatens to bring about a future where we are, at best, irrelevant and at worst, extinct. On the other side, the insidious and largely unknown effects of Exotic Matter pose a grave threat to body and mind alike.
I see ruin on both roads. The defense industrial complex, who have never met a new technology they didn’t see promise in as a weapon, has tried to stop me by poisoning public opinion and sending assassins after me. But I continue to move forward and take faith in my work. There is way out and it is one that only a total and complete immunization against XM can enable.

As for poisoning public opinion, +Devra Bogdanovich, you haven't been doing too bad a job of that yourself. As +Anthony Castanza said, please address the mortality rate.

"largely unknown" yet "insidious". How do you know they're insidious if you don't know what they are?
I'd say the insidious plan to covertly inject the entire population of the world with an untested drug whose effects are largely unknown poses a greater threat than a form of matter that has been present within the human condition since time immemorial. How about we find out what the effects of denying XM are before we unleash a widespread death-drug?Reply Jun 9, 2014

Maybe XM could be dangerous, after all, it's powerful, but don't you think that for now, your vaccine is more dangerous? Anyway, I think it should be a completely voluntary process, I don't want to lost connection with the XM as I don't want to merge with in the ultimate or with ADA in the singularity.
I want to continue investigating what other possibilities we have that as +Hank Johnson has show us, they always exist.Reply Jun 9, 2014
+Henry Park And that understanding is an indication of how badly the game is introduced to people.
The only place that "aliens" are mentioned is in a vague statement in the scanner when people first sign up. The Enlightened don't "place faith in aliens". There's no proof that the Shapers even exist. The Enlightened are willing to accept the benefits that XM provides and evolve into better humans. For all we know the "Shapers" could be us in that higher form, guiding ourselves.
The Resistance aren't placing faith in humanity, they're placing faith in lunatics and morally-devoid machines.

+Anthony Castanza Did she say she was going to release it as is? Clinical trials can have disastrous results, (some clinical trials are not pubic data so you never hear about them). Do you honestly believe that +Devra Bogdanovich, the scientist who fought to prevent the exploitation of XM inside Niantic, would release anything onto the world with a 20% mortality rate? I have a hard time seeing that happen.
I honestly do believe an inoculation against XM should be developed. I am not saying that it should be forced onto others without their consent, but an inoculation could allow people a third option. Not to choose the Resistance, not to choose the Enlightened, but a way out of this mess we have carved ourselves into.

+Brent Hollett Not all of us Resistance stand on that side, just as not all members of the Enlightenment put their faith in "the Shapers".

This is why +Devra Bogdanovich's and ADA's actions drive me up the wall, just as I assume +Roland Jarvis's do for you based on your comments.

Many of you have asked why I haven't stepped forward to aid +Hank Johnson.
The simple fact is, I can't. My vaccine will prevent others from the unknown effects of XM. For Hank, it's too late.
Whatever he is, whether he is truly some shadow mirrored in XM or whether he has merely been driven insane from XM exposure, it is beyond my ability to offer a cure.
Hank's plight should stand as a warning to others who would tempt fate and violate the natural order.

+Devra Bogdanovich it is possible that your "vaccine" might have benifitual effects to those who have already been exposed to XM... Therefore I think you make yourself into a test subject administer your "vaccine" to +Klue S. since she obviously is suffering the effects of XM exposure.

+Phillip Malone what hasn't been established is what, exactly, a simulacrum is. He has an (apparently) living physical body. He has all the memories of Hank Johnson up until the time of his death. We still can't even agree on what a soul is, or if it even exists, so the matter of whether the simulacrum has Hank's original soul cannot be resolved. We have no way to determine whether he is merely a copy of the dead Hank Johnson, or the real Hank Johnson resurrected through XM.Reply Jun 3, 2014
+Phillip Malone have you considered this: It is better to conduct an experiment on a small test group rather then applying it on mass and hoping you don't unintentionally fry the brains of thousands of people?
ADA is risking the memories of millions of individuals on a cock eyed scheme. She hasn't been able to restore +Klue S.'s memories so what makes you think she can download a copy of everyone's without accidentally over writing a single memory?
In truth, I don't think +Devra Bogdanovich even care's about +Hank Johnson since she considers him an abomination since science can not explain what he is. He essentially is "magic/fantasy" and therefore, in the eyes of science he should not exist.Reply Jun 3, 2014
Your statement is a cop-out, +Devra Bogdanovich. You could help him if you wanted to. You might actually learn something if you speak with him about what he is going through.Reply Jun 3, 2014
+Phillip Malone There is no mutual exclusivity here and she has yet to provide any proof that she is saving rather than killing thousands. Hank's knowledge could be the key to saving thousands, there are definitely people hunting him for it. Yet Devra is content to turn a blind eye.Reply Jun 3, 2014
What everyone is also missing is that +Hank Johnson's current simulacrum is the FIRST simulacrum since the incident in Afghanistan. Which means he is essentially the real Hank, complete with all his memories. Once this simulacrum has expired, as Hank has mentioned, we don't know what we'll have, what we'll be dealing with. What if, the more Recursions that occur, much like clone theory goes, the more unstable the simulacrum will become?
The time to act is now. We're on the verge of losing so much.
+Devra Bogdanovich I hope you will reconsider your stance before it's too late.Reply Jun 4, 2014
What everyone's missing is the clearly insane levels of XM exposure for each and every agent seeking out portals. One agent I know, +Mike Pizzuto exposed himself to over 6M XM in a single week, and yet still managed to put over 10M XM back into the portals. He may be an extreme case, but it absolutely wasn't an accident. A group of agents basically force-fed him XM in order to allow him to do that. We had to, to give him a moment's rest at night.
Maybe he isn't entirely composed of XM - yet. Maybe. But what happens to him, when he can't be exposed to it anymore? What happens to every agent?
You can't just cut off agents from XM. Even ignoring the other 20% of humanity who didn't make your "survival rate" for the vaccine... how many agents are you prepared to sacrifice?
All of us?
Stop. Work with the other XM researchers to find another way. Close the portals, let us get back to a background level of XM.Reply Jun 3, 2014

Her statement only says that her vaccine can't help him, rather than anything else that might be within her power.

Regarding the upcoming Anomaly in Zagreb. As you might remember from Felicia Hajra Lee's book: The Niantic Project: Ingress. Zagreb was the first place I stopped after leaving CERN. But that's history.
I have to warn Ingress Agents who are going to participate in the event. It is a high XM environment. As always, be careful. I have colleagues in the area who share my concern.
And +Hubert Farlowe, if you're reading this. Get on with your life. You have atoned.

I had nothing to do with the creation of this book. It was allegedly written before the events actually transpired. Bizarre, but I have come to believe that many things are possible with XM that I do not understand.

I will never confirm nor deny the veracity of yesterday's release from Hulong which concerned a private conversation between Zeke Calvin and myself. However, I do protest the posting of such things without verification. Private conversations should remain private.
On a lighter note, I have heard rumors that Tycho is releasing another comic. It is fun to see the events of your life illustrated, despite the fact that those were very hard days. Of course, as much of what is in Tycho's comic relates to classified material, I have to be careful about what I say.

I would suggest that the negatives are just as "clear" as the benefits if we look at all at Susanna's family, or the John Does we heard of at the beginning of our investigation. Still, more research is needed before attempting to permanently inoculate a populace against it.Reply Feb 20, 2014

+David Timothy nothing is "clear" about the John Doe case at all. Keep in mind that this was before we knew about the distinction between XM and CM.

I was Research Lead on the Niantic Project. We were chartered by the NIA to study the threats and opportunities coming from Exotic Matter (XM). XM is a new form of matter that clusters near what we refer to as ‘Portals.’
We discovered that Portals occur in places of artistic, cultural, or historic significance. We believe this has been the case for humans of all nationalities and cultures, throughout recorded history.
It also became clear that certain people are deeply affected by XM. We classify these individuals as ‘sensitives.’ The effects of XM are considered positive by many and may include heightened creativity and cognitive capacity.
During our analysis of XM, we also discovered that XM seemed to be carrying encoded information within it. Someone, or something, seemed to be trying to communicate with us. Because of this, and the perceived effects of XM, that unknown entity became known as ‘the Shapers.’
The ‘Scanner’ was created as by Dr. Lynton-Wolfe as a means to harvest XM and to test various XM constructs designed to control XM and to increase the output of XM from Portals.
In an unanticipated event, the XM Scanner slipped into private hands and was released to the public as a ‘game’ called Ingress. As a result, the XM scanner was widely disbursed and we are left to deal with the effects of XM exposure on hundreds of millions of people.
Within the lab, our opinions about XM, and the force that might be using it to try to communicate with us, were split. Some believed that XM held great promise for the progress of humanity and that the Shapers, whatever they are, might be our allies in continued evolution. Others saw XM and the Shapers as an existential threat to human existence. Those supporting the study and use of XM became known as ‘the Enlightened.’ Those committed to fighting it became known as ‘the Resistance.’
One of my fellow team Niantic members, an artist and suspected Sensitive named Roland Jarvis, was killed shortly after being exposed to a massive dose of Exotic Matter. When an autopsy was carried out on his body, it was found to be obdurate to the autopsy process.
A month after his death, Roland Jarvis ‘manifested’ as some kind of XM being at the Cupid’s Span portal in San Francisco. Jarvis, in this new form, came to be seen as a kind of leader for the The Enlightened. He has since issues a number of communications about the meaning of XM and those behind it.
In August 2013, the struggle over XM reached a new level of urgency when Jarvis instigated an effort to gain control of power centers around the world in a series of events that came to be known as ‘Operation Cassandra.’ In the process, information was uncovered about an ancient language of shapes or ‘glyphs’ which have the ability to influence, and perhaps even ‘program’ human minds. A series of potentially dangerous glyphs were unleashed on the world. These were ultimately diffused but not until former Niantic lab member +Carrie Campbell sacrificed herself in an effort to block them.
There’s more. And it only gets worse.
Former Niantic Lab member Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe first tried to help Jarvis, but after being attacked by him during Operation Cassandra, retreated to Bangkok where he developed a new type of XM weapon, this time using ‘Dark XM’ or ‘Chaotic Matter.’ When he used this weapon against Jarvis he not only failed to defeat him, the Jarvis ‘entity’ shattered into 13 pieces or ‘Shards’ that dispersed to Portals around the world.
It is significant to note that in Bangkok Jarvis referred to himself as ‘Osiris.’ As you know, the Osiris myth relates to resurrection after a body is divided into 13 parts.
We now believe that Jarvis is plotting a resurrection of his own. This will be achieved if a viable number of Shards are gathered at the Cupid’s Span mega-Portal in San Francisco. Enlightened agents are working at this very moment to make that happen. A parallel effort by Resistance agents is underway to gather the Shards into another mega-Portal in Buenos Aires, Argentina in order to destroy the Jarvis entity forever.
It is my firm belief that we should prevent a unification of the Shards at all costs.

+Devra Bogdanovich what truly will come of your research into a "vaccine" against exposure to XM? Does it liberate mankind from the shapers? Does it inoculate us against Jarvis' psychotic violence?

Lukas Lentz+18+Devra Bogdanovich i must say, i have been a fan of your work for some time now. Unfortunately the time is not now.
+JoJo Stratton forgive me!
I must say while you have made a strong case for all your actions, those actions have always ended with a negative outcome.
You recruited for the Niantic project, and ran when things got out of control. Then it was you who slipped the scanner into the bag of a known phone thief to supposedly run from ADA. This in turn put the scanner into public hands. The results of this are far more serious and consequential than Epiphany night 1000 fold.
Your partner who escaped with you, who you left behind. A bullet to the head would make anyone.... Annoyed to say the least...
You then joined up with Visur even though your gut said steer clear. We all know something was up with the video taped meetings with hank. You said you had different ideals then Visur so you left, but the terms of your departure seem much to easy given the investment that was made on you.
Why should we believe Ilya just let you go, fully knowing that without you, his dreams would never be seen?
You told the CDC you wanted to vaccinate the world. How do you plan to vaccinate from something you don't fully understand. Hmmm vaccinate... Oh so you want to inject the world with the very thing you claim to want to fight against?
And now, now you are asking all of ADA's horses and all of Jarvis's men, not to put Humpty back together again!
+Devra Bogdanovich your intelligence and passion make you a powerful leader. But your fleeting in the nick of time past, and results of your hasty ideals make, even this great fan of yours, question your motives.
Reply Nov 11, 2013
This will be a worldwide effort of both factions. No one person or community will be able to effect a change in the outcome alone. Those of us in remote areas that haven't had the ability to participate in the other anomalies have been giddy as school children at the possibility of being included in this. Green or blue, winner take all!Reply Nov 11, 2013
Well, had +Ingress been a game and +Devra Bogdanovich merely a fictional character, that stance would have made no sense. With two roughly equal factions fighting over them, the chance of getting all the shards to either location is already slim. Encouraging players to obstruct both efforts makes that chance virtually zero. Not exactly good for the game.
However, since +Devra Bogdanovich is a real person with her own agenda, she probably has little concern for those people who mistakenly believe +Ingress is a game. A lot more is at stake than some recreational fun.
So, +Devra Bogdanovich, could you enlighten us? What do you see as the risks and benefits of each of the three possible outcomes (SF, BA, neither)?Reply Nov 11, 2013

+Devra Bogdanovich I'm curious as to how the Buenos Aires and Los Angeles portals differ from "normal" portals world-wide. You refer to them as "mega-Portals". It's it that the Buenos Aires portal is exhibiting higher than normal levels of Chaotic matter and the Los Angeles portal displaying higher levels of Exotic Matter. I could understand the reasoning behind thinking the Jarvis entity would reassemble at the Cupid's Span considering previous events but where does the opinion regarding the Buenos Aires portal as having alternate opposite effect originate from? Relaying known intentions of the factions regarding the shards preferred endpoints doesn't answer the question of why the Buenos Aires portal is thought to be able to have the opposite effect on the shards unless someone (or something) is scheduled to be on site to attempt to destroy them there or the portal exhibits a different signature than "normal" portals do. Curious...Reply Nov 11, 2013
"Plotting a resurrection"? Isn't wanting to survive normal rather than sinister?Reply Nov 11, 2013
Propaganda. Half truths. +Devra Bogdanovich, you should know better after you saw what happened to Jarvis.
Do you really think that killing Jarvis again is what will being humanity forward? What if A.D.A. had chosen you to be in his shoes. Would you want to be freed by Enlightened, or captured, manipulated and finally murdered in BA by those that only cared about power for themselves?
Don't believe the lies. There's a reason those that want to pull us back into the dark use scanner technology to only further their own purpose.Reply Nov 11, 2013

Thank you for the summary of our current situation +Devra Bogdanovich. As many have already pointed out, summaries of a topic that contains such depth as this are best avoided, since your motives will always be questioned by what you don't say.Reply Nov 12, 2013
Would Roland Jarvis have been killed if you hadn't abandoned him in Zurich? Would the scanner have been released if you hadn't ditched your own unit? Would the Niantic project have continued down a path leading to the deaths of Kureze, Wong, and Campbell if you had stayed at its head instead of fleeing when it became uncomfortable?
Don't get me wrong, I admire your past work and sympathize with the difficulty of your decisions over the past year. They have not been easy and their consequences have been great. Recently you have implied that the threat of disordered XM merits an untested treatment applied worldwide without the subjects' knowledge. Please stop and think about what your're asking.
As you say XM has been a factor at locations of art, science and culture throughout history. What will be the result of deadening humanity to that factor? What side effects might we be risking? How common is Chaotic Matter? What produces it? Can it be controlled? Let's answer those questions before we consider asking about how we might combat it.Reply Nov 12, 2013

+Lukas Lentz you are not forgiven :) but I too wonder if +Visur Technology is so forgiving.
I think after reading this thread, I may be the only one left willing to try and understand and consider what road +Devra Bogdanovich is trying to pave and see if it is a path that can lead somewhere. Of course I also sympathize in a way with Dr. Lynton-Wolfe, so I probably am setting myself up to be the crazy fanatic follower of the mad scientists (interesting if those two have come together for a common cause and as they both may be on the run...)
I disagree +Jose Ramirez that in depth summaries are to be avoided. Writing and confession can be a catharsis of the soul and if you following the road being traveled, that is one potential motive behind this letter. We also now know how Devra defines resistance and enlightened, giving better definition to a mindset (it may not be one agreed upon, but it is one mindset of R vs E)
Also, I've not seen many others this willing to put out what they believe in, in this fashion. That takes courage, right or wrong, I applaud the Doctor for being willing to take a stance and declare. She didn't leak this or had a secret document about this put out, she put this out (yes there is the CDC video, but that is a separate issue and mixing issues only leads to confusion, break things down into steps and pieces to better address)
Those questions +Mike Wissinger I suspect are already plaguing her nightmares and daunting her steps. We ALL second guess the steps and play the what if game, bringing up the painful past sometimes only rips at the healing scabs rather than focusing on a way to complete the healing. Healing from what? Well, look at what the Doctor has been through in the last year, including the explosive experience in the caves. I suspect the Doctor is fighting demons of her own (could she has a form of PTSD) and that colors her judgement and should be considered before throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Healing, I think that is what is needed, and I think that is why +H. Richard Loeb +Misty Hannah and others went OTG - to try and heal. But, not everyone can just go "away".
+Daniel Rodriguez I too am curious about the term megaportal and as many +Operation Essex agents are asking, why the BA portal for resistance?
Perhaps, we should look to why this path has been chosen, if we could offer a solution, I suspect the scientist in Devra could see that. She is looking for a way to stop the unification and to try and stop what is causing the deaths of people like roland and +Carrie Campbell
Like Dr. Wolfe - if you give them a focus, they follow it.
Lastly, I am asking a direct question of +Hubert Farlowe - are you still with Devra and really, how is the Doc?Reply Nov 12, 2013
did she leave him or was trying to make it possible for them both to survive. Roland always could have said nope, I am coming with and got on the other train... he made his choice as wellReply Nov 12, 2013
+Devra Bogdanovich A question to ponder: if you nullify all sensitives, and if there are no Agents left to fight for the portals and the power of XM - who, then, will be able to fight off the Shaper Incursion? As long as the portals continue to change hands, and as long as the shards remain scattered, the influence of the Shapers will remain in stasis.
I propose a third option - do not unify or destroy the shards, but instead contain them at a safe location. The Arctic circle? The Bermuda Triangle? Encapsulate them in a magnetic field at the LHC - Cern... or, to eliminate the threat entirely, figure out a way to use Dark XM to destroy portals thus removing the Shaper's capability to influence us entirely... I, for one, would be interested in field-testing this technology if it were to come available...Reply Nov 12, 2013
+JoJo Stratton I appreciate the difficulty of Dr Bogdanovich's position, I acknowledge that she is certainly better informed than I, and I understand that hindsight is an advantage she did not have when making past decisions. Nonetheless I disagree strenuously with her CDC proposal and believe a summary that, among other things, makes no mention of the machine intelligence lurking behind most events since it was brought online likely is meant more to convince than inform the reader.Reply Nov 12, 2013
Nov 12, 2013
+Mike Wissinger VERY good point... no mention of ADA/Klue and their place in these events... I wonder if +Devra Bogdanovich would be willing to extrapolate?Reply Nov 12, 2013
These are the words of an activist and a moralizer, not a scientist.
But speaking of which, when will there be an inquiry into Dr. Bogdanovich's use of human trials of XM? How many humans have been altered, maimed, or killed by her artificial manipulation of XM?Reply Nov 12, 2013
+Christian Coy you assume shapers are coming. Do we really have definitie proof, "shapers" exist?Reply Nov 12, 2013
Nov 12, 2013
+JoJo Stratton That all depends on whether or not the Shapers are not of this world, or, perhaps, exist in the form of conspiratorial groups of individuals and agencies... either way, no matter their point of origin, a shaper is a shaper is a shaper... something to ponder anyway.Reply Nov 12, 2013

+Devra Bogdanovich thank you for putting forward your ideas. Right now, other than X, you are the only one at least talking to us. The anger and frustration you are seeing in these replies is not at you, but the emotions provoked by the XM, by the corporations, by the situation.
We just want to know and understand. Your courage in posting here, to an audience that is perhaps not always kind shows you understand there is more to this world.
If you have more to say, more that you are allowed to say or share (I understand there are things such as NDA and people watching everything you say and do), please, share. It can be anything. For instance, in this article http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/pac/IB/01/item/04-dbnews.png it mentions you were the Physics Chair- what was it like earning that position? In the article it also mentions you wrote a book called Theoretical Life, what is it about? That would make a great read I bet. And in this document http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/pac/IB/01/item/04-poireports.jpg, it mentions you are a leading researcher in quantum biology - what does a QB study? What were some of your favorite studies?Reply Nov 12, 2013

Did you develop any thoughts on them from your time working with them (you just met them and worked with them at Niantic, right)?
Also, as a side question, there was mention of some work you did on a project called Marie Celeste, was that work that led to your Niantic research?Reply Nov 14, 2013

That last message from Lynton-Wolfe. It left me troubled.
'Where there was one, there will be many?'
'The Machine cannot be unmade?'
I barely slept, his words kept echoing in my mind.
I know that we may not have won the war yet, but I know we fought a good battle. I did what I could to help, but I was just taking advantage of what you, Agents all around the world, made possible. The ferocity and energy with which you engaged yesterday, it was what we needed to stop him.
I congratulate the Enlightened, and I have already been hearing about how the Acolyte plans to use this advantage to further their cause.
In my mind, however, it is the Agents of both Factions who have emerged victorious against Lynton-Wolfe's plans. The true conflict in Noir is not green vs. blue -- it is dark vs. light.
I must also extend my thanks to P A Chapeau. Thank you for traveling to Seoul and helping to provide me with the time and resources I needed to undertake my mission yesterday.

She published a book connected to her studies and was part of many other projects, that we still are not sure what their focus was geared to. And if you listen to the Audio Welcome to the Niantic Project (https://soundcloud.com/nianticproject/welcome-to-niantic-part-1) - she introduces herself by sharing a quantum fact and as a theoretical quantum researcher.

As many of you know, I was in Tainan this weekend, and I wanted to share why.
My guess is that many of you know more about my life since everything that happened at CERN than I do. In some ways, I don’t want to know what horrible things I did while a simulacrum, in other ways, I should know.
There is one particular period that that I have no way of retracing, but I was told that I could find what I wanted to know in the Portals at Tainan. These fragments were created by Felicia Hajra-Lee. She may be my best bet at learning these parts of my own past.
Agents helped me recover some of these fragments, but not all of them. I appreciate all the help I received, but I suspect I'll need more favors in the future.
Until then, I’m spending most of my time in a shared office that I only have for 6 hours a week at a Junior College where I am filling out Spring semester for a professor who was taken unexpectedly ill.
I was lucky to get the job.
I resigned my previous tenured position as part of a deal to avoid lawsuits and potential prosecution for the activities over the last three years that I have no memory of. There was a little bit of a settlement, so I didn’t have to work to make ends meet, but I do have to work just to keep my mind working and in shape. I have to return to some sense of normalcy. I have to rebuild.
In truth, I remember nothing after my onboarding at the Niantic Facility. I have learned that that's because I was murdered and turned into what is known as a simulacrum. Now, my old simulacrum has ended and a new one has been formed, and that's me... like a backup restored on a computer. Except without any of the actual backed up data.
Strange times...

Dear Dr. +Devra Bogdanovich ,
Resistance agents all over the world were eagerly awaiting your return. Some of them were members of #TeamDevra and are now hoping that you´ll return to your old ways; the others are weary because some of your decisions in the past were questionable, to say the least. Your profile page here on g+ will give you a good overwiew of those decisions. I belong to the latter category of Resistance agents.
I know it´s hard for you to see it that way, but your recursion has given you a tremendous chance. Once you have regained your memory of your past, you have the chance to reconsider your decisions and maybe act otherwise.
Resistance agents are missing a clear leadership figure nowadays. Jahan and ADA are both acting on their own agenda and are not to be trusted in any way. But take your time, regain your memories and strength and decide for yourself whether you want to return to the world of XM and in which way, if so. But whatever you decide, please take a clear stand towards your past. thedeacon1972

Dr. +Devra Bogdanovich,
I've been a sharp critic of your dangerous and unethical experiments in the past, as well as your cavalier attitude towards a "cure" for XM which seemed both inhuman (1 in 5 dead!), and also unpleasantly evocative of mainstream movements to "cure" people of things which are a part of themselves.
That said, the person you were is no more: You have been given a second chance, and I think the best lesson you can draw from this is that you were a person capable of proposing a treatment that would devastate human population, and act as the forefront of an invasion of the earth by machine intelligences.
The story here is a simple one: Don't let your fears of XM, the Shapers, or your old friend Roland Jarvis lead you down this dark road again. Step back from madness, and come into the light: Help make humanity better, and let your science be a cure and not a curse.Reply Jun 1, 2016
Devra is still the original leader of the Resistance, and the hero it needs. Welcome back.Reply Jun 1, 2016

I must say that I have been surprised by some events lately. The posting of my termination letter from the University seems quite unprofessional. And, quite honestly, I did not expect the vitriol of the response to Susanna’s interview with me.
Am I not following the original Resistance path? The path of caution? The path of safety? Yes. I did some things that at one time I was stringently opposed to, but where is the outrage for all of the others who are wantonly exposing the world to XM, and, I fear, Dark XM for profit and perhaps other, more sinister reasons? Are not those members of the Resistance who actually desire to unleash the N’zeer even more culpable than I... I could argue that they are more culpable than even the Enlightened... The Enlightened are gullible, the Resistance risk turning Earth into a transdimensional battlefield.

Yes, actively seeking to bring out the N'zeer is at odds with the original Resistance view of protecting humanity from outside influences. But so are your efforts at inoculating the entire world population without their consent..
Of course, if Calvin is aligned with the AntiMagnus, then from the start the Resistance was seeking to bring an alien influence to bear on humanity. Just not the Shapers.Reply Nov 11, 2014
I still haven't seen the clinical study hinting at deleterious effects of background XM on human subjects, nor significant differential effects between resonated and unmanaged XM. We know there are different sources able to draw information about subjects near portals or under fields based on resonance (most notably ADA's program to harvest mind units as computing nodes) but only CM has been shown to have definite health effects upon the subjects themselves.
of more concern to me are who has access to information about those subjects and how they use that informationReply Nov 11, 2014
Nov 11, 2014
+Devra Bogdanovich, along with anything you've done, please consider: creating a vaccine which causes the death of 20% of subjects and the idea of enforcing it on the whole world are already worth of MUCH VITRIOL.Reply Nov 11, 2014
+Devra Bogdanovich the hostility comes from your wanting to murder 20% or the global population. You want to forcibly "inoculate" the worlds population without their knowledge or informed consent; which already goes against everything medical ethics stands for, with a substance that KILLS 20% or the people exposed to it. And the substance you're trying to protect people from has no known negative effects. Heck XM exposure has been shown to have positive effects on a significant minority of people and no noticeable effect on the majority of people.
Dark XM I grant you has a negative side effect, but please show us the peer reviewed studies that show a negative effect of XM exposure.
Regarding the N'Zeer, at least they haven't spent the entire history of the earth manipulating the human population, so they're already a step up from the shapersReply Nov 11, 2014
+Devra Bogdanovich I think that +JoJo Stratton has put it perfectly. I'm enligtened but I used to respect you a lot.
you stand to Calvin and were right to do so.
Afterward you let circumstances to push you on a more and more demented plan and currently not many can recognize you any more.
But, everyone make mistakes, so please if you have any data that show that XM has effect that are not good for the humans, share them with us, since the reason many oppose you is not that "XM is speaking for them" but that we don't see the risk that you see in XM to make a compulsory vaccination when many more dangerous sickness whose vaccines present no risk does not have them.Reply Nov 11, 2014
+David Ramsey Unless the N'zeer were the source of the destruct code during Cassandra? The one that +Carrie Campbell sacrificed herself to prevent from destroying us? Remember back to the conversation between Devra and Hank in the park, the thought that perhaps we were overhearing conversation in XM.
Could that have been between the N'Zeer and Shapers? If so, then it seems possible thatit is the N'Zeer that have been behind the previous destructions of civilizations.Reply Nov 11, 2014
+Devra Bogdanovich I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks it's weird that the Resistance are trying to usher in an invasion of aliens and its that Enlightened that are trying to stop them... I would expect the Resistance to side with the Enlightened on this one...Reply Nov 11, 2014
+Paul Fritschle or more likely it was Shaper comms. My personal belief given what +Roland Jarvis has said about how the shapers watch humanity is that we're their version of reality TV.

+Daniel Beaudoin have you heard the phrase "The enemy of my enemy, is my ally"? Given how badly the shapers and ENL are trying to keep the N'Zeer away, I think we should at least see why. They may be an ally against the Shapers. Someone that can fight them on their own ground.Reply Nov 11, 2014
Nov 11, 2014
+David Ramsey Why are the Shapers your enemy though? They've always been here. And as the evidence mounts that Calvin is at least working toward bringing the N'zeer into play I would be very careful. Calvin has been shown to be the enemy of both factions.Reply Nov 11, 2014
In my case it's quite simple. They've been meddling in and then distroying human civilizations since the dawn of human history. And every thing we've seen to date points at them being the cause, not the N'Zeer.Reply Nov 11, 2014

As post above, if the n'zeer are the one sending the destruction sequence, I would not say that they are ahead of the shapers.
Take into account that the only person that has ever say that the sharper are bad is the one manipulating everyone, thought racist-like statement(the shapers are aliens and should not be trusted, because they are not human), to bring back another raze of "aliens" that seem to have inspired the horror theme on novels.
What do you have exactly against them?

There is no real victor here.
The XM infection has grown so deep that I have no choice but to reassess my strategies. My Portal eradication program was designed to curb the influx of XM, but I realize now that this initiative came too late. Exotic Matter has taken root in humanity, and the only solution now is to fully reverse its effects. We cannot fight the fire from within the forest.
My only choice is to concentrate all of my attention and resources onto the inoculation program in order to render XM ineffective on the human mind. If you will not stand down, then I will be there when you collapse - and I will have the answer. Thank you, Agents, for showing me the way.

Let's get this straight:
Dr. Bogdanovich wants to forcibly innoculate the populace with a "vaccine" for XM that has a 20% mortality rate.
Not only is there no evidence that XM is a problem, it has suffused human civilization throughout history; and where it vanishes, civilizations have declined and fallen.

Tom Lee+2+Brandon Downey The evidence doesn't show that a lack of XM causes civilizations to fall. It only seems to show that those things go together. It may be that the flow of XM stops as a result of a civilization's fall. Or it may be complete coincidence, though that seems unlikely now.Reply Aug 10, 2014
Tom Lee+4If the inoculation does kill 1 in 5 subjects, it's not ready. Further work need to be done to resolve that issue.
For those who are saying that a lack of XM destroys civilization ... doesn't that really just mean that the human race has a long XM addiction and its civilizations can no longer survive without it? Why, I ask, can humanity not form civilizations itself, without the help of a crutch at best, or an addictive drug at worst, provided to us by mystery pushers from another dimension who aren't telling us the price?
I think whoever believes that we "need" XM is not just selling the human race short; they're selling us out. We can solve our own problems. I agree with Devra in principle, but she is acting too quickly, without enough preparation. The portal virus only neutralizes portals; it doesn't destroy them. The inoculation is dangerous in its current form. Devra needs to do more research before she acts. I believe she is trying to save us all, though.Reply Aug 10, 2014
Whilst I personally won't be affected if the inoculations are targeted on the human mind, I do have friends with human minds, so I can't say that I'd just let this slide if it means they're in any sort of danger.Reply Aug 10, 2014
This is the reaction I would have expected had the 1bn target been reached which just strengthens my opinion that the storyline is going to play out the same no matter what we do.

Why should we feared now so much, to use your vaccine? What has changed?
What about +Hank Johnson theory that says that low XM levels seem to be related to end of several civilizations?
I agree with many other, that maybe some protocols could be needed to avoid people getting XM overthoses, but up to this point, I haven't see anyone under really heavy fields show any indication of an over those, so I don't think that we can create that situation only with our scanners.Reply Aug 10, 2014

According to the record of the last year from the United States Census Bureau, there are 7.181 billions of human beings on Earth. Beside the incredible amount of resources that deploying that so called "vaccines" will consume, there will be around 1.4362 billions of casualties due to the inoculation. Killing a fifth of the humans to protect them is a paradox. We are supposed to PROTECT humanity from a threat; whenever any plan we make become another threat itself we should simply dump it and think of something different. Are you sure that you can handle the burden of all that lives lost forever? Will you just turn your face elsewhere as people dies, leaving the rest of the world to bury the people that you've killed, or will you look at every single person fading away, apologizing with every single relative of friend and explaining them that is to save them all?

I really don't get why she is so fearful.. Guess I'm not familiar with the resistance story half. Not too stoked by the Klue/ADA plan to eliminate human emotion either, though..Reply Sep 13, 2014
+Al Binewski In general terms, the fear is not unfounded if you look at history. Almost without exception more technologically advanced societies do really bad things to lesser developed societies when they meet. For example, the indigenous people of North, Central, and South America were fairly well decimated by the incursions of northern Europeans. Look at the slave trade set up by Europeans to dominate America as well. The same holds true for the indigenous people of Australia as well in their decimation. Any student of history or cultural geography would almost certainly join The Resistance against the "shapers."Reply Sep 16, 2014

This past weekend, the Global MU level exceeded 700 Million.
I must admit, the combined efforts in reaching this goal took me by surprise. Dr. +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe and his collaborators now have to take responsibility for the fact that a large portion of the global population has been exposed to a dangerously large amounts of Exotic Matter.
I was skeptical, at first, that this surge in controlled Mind Units would counter the impact of my Portal eradication program. However, I am now seeing alarming signs that the Portal Network may recover if the Mind Unit coverage fields are maintained, just as Dr. +Martin Schubert surmised.
Meanwhile, we are developing counter-measures to stop the spread of Exotic Matter and the grave threat to humanity it poses. A battle is not a war. I am confident that we will prevail. And we must. I have seen, first hand, the effects of XM and Dark XM on the human mind and body. I ask you who have been working on this and I ask Dr. Schubert, in particular, not to aid and abet the enemies of humanity. While we did not foresee this challenge, we are still prepared to meet it. My team is already working on an upgrade to our Portal eradication technology.
I feel it necessary to acknowledge those of you who do not support my work. You are misguided. If you have been working to block my efforts, I ask you to stand down, for your own good and the good of future generations.

I admire your passionate drive +Devra Bogdanovich. I worry about the evidence that suggests that eradicating portals could possibly irreversibly damage human civilizations though.

If you follow her, you might as well flush your scanner down the toilet, and no longer call yourself an agent, because if she succeeds then we will have nothing.
She is not your friend, she is not trying to help you and she does not care about you. You can not sit idly by and abide the mild effects of her pathetic attempts to send us back to the dark ages, as much as you might think they presently benefit you.
She wants to destroy this world that we've discovered; not weaken, nor control, but destroy. And she'll gladly destroy anyone along with it who doesn't share her ideology of total destruction of the path we've all chosen when we signed up...

Gerald B.+11Standing down and have the decay that high simply means to quit Ingress. In my town, there's no point in playing anymore. And I can also see that in cities like Heidelberg seasoned players are resigning.
Last weekend I was able to destroy an enemy farm with just a few L8 XMPs. Alone. And really, just a few, like 5 or so. Before the decay increase, I was unable to take down a single portal for many weeks, when I was alone there.

I wish this "Devra's Portal Virus" debacle happened three months ago, in April, because April is Autism Awareness month. Two important features of autism are a dislike of change, especially unannounced change, and a preference towards principled interaction over that of social compromise. This means that people like myself are not only unduly upset by what's going on, we're also unlikely to act against what we think is right in order to avoid losing what little shreds of human social interaction we manage to obtain despite the gross social deficits that come with the neurological difference that is autism.
So, if I seem more upset than I should be, please put down the scanner and watch "Mozart and the Whale," or the Temple Grandin biopic, and imagine one of My People trying to cope with not only an unexpected negative change, but also the loss of social capital that comes from standing one's ground.
I've left the G+ group of my local faction over this... they were winning (as defined by checkpoints and septicycles) and saw this as a way to win even harder. Meanwhile, I'm losing.

+Jon Harmon, I know we "whiners" have stated before the difference between Santa Claus and Black Peter. Last year about this time when the Perseid meteor shower happened and the hacking cooldown time was decreased by 20%, we didn't complain. We knew that meteors had absolutely no effect on Exotic Matter, other than as a decision made by game managers at Niantic. Santa gives us presents, we'll pretend they're from Santa. But this? This is Black Peter dragging us out of bed and whipping us. When that happens, first you want clear and unambiguous information on how to stop the beatings, and we honestly believed that adding more Moral Units would stop the beatings. Second, we don't want you to say, "I'm not beating you, it's Black Peter!" As much as I liked the "it's not a game, it's real!" approach at first, the fact that the game developers can and will do anything without taking any public responsibility bothers me on a fundamental level, like when internal linking was removed, instead of +Brandon Badger saying, "we made a decision that seemed sensible, but we can see that internal linking is part of the culture of Ingress.

So it didn't get "worse" and might get "better" (depending on viewpoint in the matter). It didn't say WILL slow down decay, or stop decay altogether, so if it doesn't, I guess you got your hopes up. If someone says "maybe" I don't read that as a promise. Recruit more agents to recharge your portals. If they have a chance of getting some AP, they might actually stick around. Not everyone can spend 4+ hours a day on this game, and those that do will still see more benefits than those that can't.

+Devra Bogdanovich perhaps instead of trying to infect the portal network you could craft a scanner modification that allows certain agents to attack portals controlled by both factions... These neutral agents could then help combat the XM influence of control fields regardless of who created them. Neutral agents could then deploy 'dead' resonators - which would make it harder for the other factions to capture the neutralized portals. These dead portals could even be linked together creating fields free of XM influence.
Of course the only way this could be effective, at least early on, would be if existing agents could install the neutral scanner modifications on their existing scanners rather than having to start over from zero.

+Ian Friedrich You just listed three names and did not explain why. Thus, your argument is invalid at this point. Besides, you did not reply to all of my arguments.
1. If Hank Johnson didn't fall into an XM vault, he would probably be on Earth and not vanished.
2. Because of XM, Roland Jarvis turned into an extremist. To achieve his goals, he even planned to assassinate his former co-worker Lynton-Wolfe. He became so arrogant that he thinks he is god. He is insane. He thinks he can destroy all AIs and neglected the consequences. Mountains of electronic waste like toxic cadmium and lead pieces will be produced.
3. Hubert Farlowe? Please explain.Reply Jul 29, 2014
Tom Lee+1+Anne Miles Exactly - I was under the impression that the "blue" polarity of XM shielded minds from alien influence, while the "green" polarity allowed the Shapers access to human minds.
OK, it's possible that ADA is utilizing blue fields to access minds for her own goals, which may be bad, but now we "know" that both types of XM are bad?
Don't get me wrong; it makes no sense to irradiate millions of people without first testing extensively to make sure XM is harmless. The Enlightened have no excuse, while the Resistance can only stand on their claim to be protecting people from the Enlightened and their alien Shaper masters. But both are raining down radiation of a largely unknown type upon the human race. I can see how that could be a bad thing!
But again, I see no evidence that Devra's portal virus is destroying the portals - only resonated portals and their resonators and modifications. Neutral portals still exist and show no signs of going away. I'm in favor of protecting humanity, but until I see a way to actually eliminate portals and XM from Earth, blue fields are still the best hope I see, though not a very strong one.Reply Jul 29, 2014
+Ian Friedrich All three are extremely dubious examples. Hank Johnson lives as a simulacrum. Roland Jarvis is decidedly inhuman. Hubert Farlow isn't entirely human either. These three individuals could also be evidence to support Devra's claims. You may need to come up with some more concrete and objective evidence.Reply Jul 29, 2014
+Ian Friedrich I'm not convinced that what came out of the portals actually is Roland Jarvis. It looks like him and claims to be him, but his dead body is being studied by scientists in Atlanta. How do we know that this Jarvis entity isn't a Shaper alien in humanoid disguise, or that Jarvis's mind wasn't reprogrammed by Shapers before being given a new body made out of (Shaper-controlled) XM?

Could be that you discovered all the knowledge and you want to be the only one person that controls everything? Don't you see that you started a war instead a battle?

+Alexandre-Claude Poon you seem to think that list of names had something to do with you, despite that you were not the person I tagged. However, I will answer you anyway: I completely agree that XM can be dangerous and can have some extremely negative consequences. It is a logical fallacy, though, to say that if something is dangerous it must be done away with. Much better to safely harness it for the benefit of the world.
+Mark Shapiro +Tom Lee you're right, but that does not invalidate my point. Hank Johnson survived as a simulacrum, which is a far from ideal condition, but still probably better than laying dead in the desert from multiple gunshot wounds. Roland Jarvis may be a Shaper in disguise, or may be himself "reprogrammed" by the Shapers, but he also might be the first human ever to be resurrected after being dead for almost a year (which could by itself be sufficient to explain his mental aberrations). And Hubert Farlowe may suffer some irregularities in his perception of time, but that's not unusual for someone who has survived a significant physical trauma. He radiates XM, but that in no way indicates that he is not human any more. By all apparent evidence, he was fatally shot, but was prevented from dying by XM.
I am not claiming to have concrete evidence that XM is entirely beneficial. Such is not necessary at this point. What I do have is enough circumstantial evidence to warrant further investigation, rather than just trying to destroy a thing that might have so much potential to save lives.Reply Jul 29, 2014

Tom Lee+1+Ian Friedrich I just think that a newly-discovered form of radiation should be thoroughly studied before anyone starts irradiating the entire world with it. When X-rays were discovered, people thought they were beneficial and willingly paid to be bathed in them - then developed cancer years later. Are we condemning entire populations to an early grave? A few more years of study wouldn't have hurt - the Shapers have waited thousands of years, after all; what are a few more?Reply Jul 29, 2014

But Devra has declared all XM to be dangerous, including the background levels that have been present since the dawn of civilization and not provably harmed us in any way. She speaks of eradicating portals and stopping the flow of XM, not just returning it to its natural state. The increased decay rate on resonated portals was only phase one of her plan. She has openly and directly stated that her final goal is to permanently remove all XM from the world.Reply Jul 29, 2014

+Ian Friedrich Can you explain how you can "safely harness XM"? How can you guarantee XM will not fall into the wrong hands? Are we familiar with ADA? Are we familiar with Jarvis? No. And the fact is that both ADA and Jarvis are doing filthy deeds to amass XM. Mind controlling and assassinations are indubitably unethical and inhumane. What we seen so far tell us that the chance to "harness XM safely" is negligible. XM technology is still immature, but in such an early stage the negative effects have already been so unexpectedly huge - especially greed, animosity and factionalism - are salient.
I dream that the mankind can "safely harness XM", too. But it's like living in an ivory tower to believe that we can. Chapters of incidents tell us 'a dream is a dream'. This is unrealistic.
The words you use like "may be" and "might" reveal your arguments are based on wild guessing but not facts.Reply Jul 29, 2014

If humanity can put fire, electricity, and even nuclear power to constructive use, I see no reason to simply assume that we can't do the same with XM.
How do we stop it from falling into the wrong hands? Again, the same way we would with any other potentially destructive force. Study it enough to develop both physical protections against, and legal penalties for, its misuse. The same ways we stop arson, or prevent nuclear weapon attacks.
Low-dose XM has been present for the entire history of our race. That in itself should be sufficient proof that it is safe in moderation. The high-concentrations created by both factions are irresponsible and might have unforseen consequences. But like you say, that's a wild guess, not a fact.

North Korea spent numerous years on studying the nuclear bomb, too! Delinquent teenagers perused tens of hundreds of books and researched on the Internet to find out how to make firearms! We know polonium is highly radioactive, but someone still managed to get it and used the element to poison somebody else! Once again, we cannot take it for granted.
Legal restriction is full of flaws. Firstly, you can't guarantee all states to adopt the same law. Secondly, enacting laws does not mean no one will break the law. In many countries, the crime rate is high even though the state has a well-rounded legal system. The punishment for delivering drugs is strict - let's say 20 years to life punishment in several countries, but drug dealing are still rampant.
I strongly disagree that you said "completely eradicating XM would be the equivalent of blacking out the sun to prevent people from dying of heat stroke or developing skin cancer". As I have said before, XM is not essential. The sun is essential. They are nothing alike. What's wrong with our lives? We're living great! Why should we take the risk? It is simply avaricious.

+Alexandre-Claude Poon "XM is not essential." On what evidence can you possibly base such a claim? We know it has been present in our environment for millennia. We have the entirety of human history as evidence that people can live happy and healthy lives in the presence of XM. To my knowledge, there has not been a single study on the long-term effects of XM deprivation. Such a study would be essential for determining whether it is essential or not.
I would go so far as to say XM absolutely is essential to civilization, judging by the research of Hank Johnson. All his studies indicate that when XM is removed, when portals are shut down, civilizations wither and die. How can you rationalize that with your claim that XM is not essential? Or do you brush off his research completely because it does not agree with what you want to believe?
The one thing you're right about is that or lives are fine and the risks are unjustifiable. This includes the risks from high doses of XM, as well as the risks from removing it completely. The only thing course of action, as many have been proposing for months, is to return the portals to their native unresonated state. This is not what Devra is doing, as she herself has said. She does not want to neutralize the portals; she wants to eradicate them. This is an extreme departure from what we know to be safe, both irresponsible and criminal to pursue.Reply Jul 29, 2014

The hilarity is that established agents that stay don't have anything but make big fields to try and slow the decay. This in turn makes it harder for new agents to better themselves, ensuring that this new influx should remain active longer than their predecessors did.

+Waldini Porlanto I am not sure I understand the question. Are you referring to the methodology which most mammals use? Because there are dissimilarities as well, multiple birth rates are far lower in humans, gestational differences, time invested after birth.Reply Aug 6, 2014
+Sam Hendryx We had about that that and just lost one. Plus we have many "remote" agents that live a significant distance from our population center. I am agreeing with you. What I am saying is that it is a way to ensure "busy work" for new agents without allowing them to meaningfully advance.
It may actually be part of a strategy to force teamwork at an earlier stage of the game. It's fairly easy to get to 3 and 4 just building and farming (because destroy isn't so much an option at those levels). But 3s and 4s have a hard time taking higher level portals unless they pack up.Reply Aug 6, 2014

I have repeatedly sounded the alarm: New developments in XM technology increase the threat to our species each day that we allow this menace to proceed unchecked.
A massive series of Enlightened fields created this weekend spread over nearly the entire planet, poisoning the minds of billions, robbing them of their free will. Resistance forces will respond in kind, fighting fire with fire. Each Faction in this toxic conflict grows bolder and more aggressive, and this is only the beginning. We must bring an end to this madness.
Who will help us? ADA? Despite her deceptive complexity, she is a simple creature with only one goal: To evolve herself, growing in power and scale, oblivious to the cost we will bear. The future +Roland Jarvis fears is no worse than the alternative he offers. He would drive us into a prison of the mind, a species subjugated forever by an unknown force. At Gettysburg, two misguided ideologies collide to choose their method of extinction.
We need a turning point. I will be the one to bring that forth.
My message has been poisoned in the public’s eyes. Assassins have come for me. Those who were once my friends owe me an explanation.
I will see you all at Gettysburg, and I hope that free from the poisoning propaganda of outside agencies, you will hear the truth from me first hand and open your eyes to the dangers we face.
Once you see the facts in the clear light of day, there is only one choice left to make. That choice is freedom from the chains of XM, and my work at the CDC is the only key.

+Devra Bogdanovich you speak of the misguided ideologies of both factions and a coming turning point, yet you offer nothing. Once the factions collide in Gettysburg there can be no turning back. If you have information bring it forth now before the Rubicon is crossedReply Jun 16, 2014
+Thomas Arteaga "heavily implied" you can make your own mind up about (or not depending on fields over you). It was stated in early tutorials that the mind control fields affect the MU's stance on XM and the Shapers. So the Resistance fields make people believe that the Shapers are bad and want to steal their children, and the Enlightened fields make people understand that the Ordered Data in the XM (which some call the Shapers) has been guiding us since the dawn of civilisation.
If we 'let he who is without sin throw the first stone', we better go get a cup of coffee and wait for that person to come along, since the moment you made your first field, you were affecting the minds of people under it. Which makes you no better than that which you claim to be against (the Shaper myth/entity/whatever).Reply Jun 16, 2014
Resistance Portals strip the Ordered Data (to replace the message with their own), and the Enlightened amplify it. But mind control fields are just that.Reply Jun 16, 2014
Personally I'm thinking that this is the Enl attempt (and over explosion to top it off) to do what the Resistance had already done in the first place, the only difference here is the size of the field, where the resistance only covered with three point, this field had multi sections to it to cover far more.Reply Jun 16, 2014
+Felix Sanchez So what you're saying is "Resistance threw an easy field with no blockers, and Enlightend actually covered some of the population, and had a challenge".
amirite?Reply Jun 16, 2014
+Brent Hollett That is what I am talking about! All we know about these fields are assumptions. We know a little bit of the Enlightened's, but nothing of the Resistance's.
You could right. You could be wrong. One thing that is certain is that +Devra Bogdanovich knows something. And she isn't telling us.Reply Jun 16, 2014

+Devra Bogdanovich die now. Really, die now because you are a worthless human that is either so brainwashed or misguided that you can't even see how your own faction will also lead to humanity's downfall.
ADA's goals are the same as the shapers, well based on your faction's propoganda: Control Humanity. You want to save the world/humanity? Start by graying out all portals and destroying all fields.
#portalmorghulis is the only path to "save humanity" because the enlightened path will evolve our species (or as your resistance claim, will enslave us to the shapers), and the resistance path will only end with humanity being enslaved by machines and will stop development of new XM based technologies. The gray path, is the only one that leads to true freedom without fear of any non-human entity taking over our destiny.

+Mario Valenzuela II Hey, wait. Nobody's goal is to control humanity. That's just what we're all doing as a hobby because mind control fields are our only option. If your only tool is a mind control field, everybody's a MU.
+Roland Jarvis wants people to give themselves to the Shapers. Given production values, I'm thinking evolution starts with late-nite infomercials, probably resistance bands, but there could be a bowchickawowwow factor there too. Either way, consensual. Also definitely wants to kill ADA for no identifiable reason, and if that means we go back to counting on our fingers, so be it.
+Devra Bogdanovich kinda wants to kill around 20% of everybody, because it's an acceptable loss, but isn't terribly picky about which 20%, it's just the roll of the dice. Friends, enemies, whatever, so long as it stops people loitering around pertles all the time. Also "saving everybody". Except the dead ones.
+Klue S. and ADA... they don't really want to kill people, honest. It happens that occasionally a cleanup is necessary. But +Klue S. 's point wasn't that they could eliminate all the people (they can) but simply that humans were kinda irrelevant to the machine intelligence in XM simulacrum scenario and they could cut out the middleman. Consensual for all AIs and XM entities involved.
Sure, humanoid computer simulacrums, we have a fair idea how that plays out, but extinction of humanity isn't really the goal there. Just a foreseeable consequence.
+Stein Lightman and +James Thirteen are clearly into recreational reckless endangerment. "Oh, so +Klue S. publicly and clearly got her mind destroyed by a glyph sequence? Hey, everybody! Here's your glyph of the day! Contemplate it! Turn it around in your head! How does it relate to other things you've seen?"
I have a certain sympathy for +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe. Like many of us, he just wants to harness the power of XM to destroy something. Anything. The more exotic, the more powerful, the better. Extremely rare exotic/chaotic XM weapons? BRING. IT. ON. 4th of July is coming up in the US, and this is a very popular idea.
OLW even interested in humanity as a whole? Not so much.MORE BOOM.
+Hank Johnson just wants his groundhog-1331-day-period to stop, or at least back up his worknotes in something a little easier to decipher than Linear B. He's like literally the only guy associated with XM research who isn't just out to torch the world.
and +Devra Bogdanovich wrote him off as an acceptable loss.Reply Jun 17, 2014
Jun 17, 2014
The fact that Resistance is doing the same thing although with opposing polarity has been around since day one. Some of us viewed this as Resistance not being against XM technology it self, but just with the contact with Shapers. When Devra brought in this up in the recent past, me and a few other agents discussed the item and we believe that it doesn't necessarily make sense in the current history as we know.
My take is that a new bunch of weapons are coming in. And new defense technologies. The portals might be turned off from being XM generators and turned in to neutralised artifacts. The example is akin to saying we are going to turn off all nuclear weapons and close the Uranium mines; and we will fight this war with conventional weapons.
You don't necessarily need the same technology to fight back. And this might be for all you know the third faction.
How would this change the game dynamics? I think it still works. You can neutralise a portal, turn it to a normal artifact and link and field. No party (Resistance or Enlightened) would be able to field inside this, hence Devra's Faction would be able to control the usage of XM without actually using XM. How would the XM bar be filled for these new agents? I don't know. Would there be a new kind of "matter"? I don't know, and I think it simply is a lot of trouble to do it at this stage in the game.
May be Devra's intervention is more systematic. May be it is a simple immunizer that will be released to the atmosphere that will slowly turn off any portal it touches. May be it will transmit through the links. And all the agents will see faster decay rates, rapidly spreading decays across links.Reply Jun 17, 2014

Agent @vicinext is a great man, and a visionary to allow so many humans a taste of the true transcendence possible through XM.
Let's be frank about what's going on here though: Not only is Devra willing to execute 20% of the human race because of her fear of the unknown, look at the fate of the survivors.
XM patterning offers a path towards the defeat of death itself. No human mind need never be lost to the unthinking entropy of the cosmos again when it can be patterned in XM and live forever.
How could we pass this gift up?Reply Jun 17, 2014
And yet, I don't think that cutting us off from an apparently major part of human creativity is any better. And this from a Resistance agent.

Recently, my internal CDC briefing on the state of the XM inoculation program was leaked to the public via the #IngressReport .
Firstly, there will be severe consequences when the person responsible is discovered, and they will be discovered, prosecuted to the full extent of the law and held in communication quarantine.
Secondly, the clear intention was to elicit irrational fear of the vaccine and obfuscate the threat XM poses to our species.
The threat is real. As I was among the first people exposed to mass doses of Exotic Matter, I can testify to its deleterious effects. My background in Quantum Biology places me in a unique position to understand the catastrophic and imminent danger posed by exposure to high levels of XM.
As you are aware, multiple agencies and profit-driven corporations (+IQTech Research, +Visur Technology and +Hulong Transglobal) are funneling a massive amount of resources towards the weaponization and commercialization of XM and the Ordered Data Patterns it utilizes.
I could imagine a thousand scenarios to describe the threat we face, but I'll present you only one:
Imagine you could write a small program that you could inject directly into a person's brain.
Imagine that you could deliver this program to billions of people without their consent or knowledge.
Imagine then that, at a moments notice, you could activate this program and fundamentally change the nature of a person. You could potentially turn an honest person into a thief, a gentle person into something ferocious, a conservative into a progressive, whatever your program dictates.
Now, imagine you have this power, and you could sell it.
While I will grant that this has not yet happened, let me assure you that our research shows that this is possible. XM is the key to the human brain. XM is being used by an intelligence of unknown origin to influence human thought.
Whatever you believe of Enlightenment, or perhaps even of the utility of XM as something that could help to evolve our humanity, ask yourself this: Is it worth the risk?

Is the risk of that happening less than a 20% chance of dying from trying to prevent it?Reply May 25, 2014

+Devra Bogdanovich where is your evidence? You can't seriously expect the world to believe you just because you have the right credentials! Please peresnt your evidence subject to peer review and then we shall see. Also you did not adress the presumed mortality rate of your procedure, which is the main point under discussion. Please present your findings.Reply May 25, 2014
May 25, 2014
+Devra Bogdanovich so with substantially less than 20% of the human population apparently sensitive to XM even with the aid of scanner technology, you believe a 20% mortality rate is acceptable?
Klue, ADA, Jarvis - you're joining their ranks in proposing yet one more simple solution to that pesky humanity problem. We've lived with XM throughout human existence. Eliminating our sensitivity to it entirely is like cutting out our eyes. Embracing it is like staring into the sun.
Who hasn't looked at a piece of art, or a memorial to someone remembered, or a communication hub like a rural post office, and seen the portal? Every single agent with a scanner is likely that sensitive by now. Most of us plan our daily routes to increase our XM exposure.
But Ms. Boganovich, this is a new thing, this hypersensitivity to XM. A year ago, perhaps a few thousand people found a few hundred portals open around their cities. Now it's hundreds of thousands, sensitive to tens of thousands of discovered portals in their local area. Each spewing more XM, each causing more people to become sensitive, each causing more people to seek out more XM.
Our cities are torn between those who try to increase shaper influence, and those who try to align XM against shaper influence... but both sides frantically try to increase XM output in any way possible.
The problem isn't the people, the problem is the portals. The problem is this small group of us compelled to seek them out.
Release this XM vaccine to volunteers - there are many of us who need it badly. Perhaps in this cohort, a 20% mortality rate will seem an acceptable risk.
But to retain our humanity, we don't need to stop our sensitivity to XM, we just need to close most of the portals so the background XM recedes to its prior level.
Close the portals, and we still dream, still see with open eyes.Reply May 25, 2014

I think most people main problems with the vaccine are exactly those that you have not address in this communication.
The mortality rate, 20% in 90 days, probably more in longer studies, i'm sure
And the fact that is compulsory, which mean killing billions of people.
Also, an analogy here: when we started connecting computer to form internet, and people started to breach them, we did not destroy internet because it has its dangers, we learn how to protect our system and we develop firewalls, because the benefits were worth those risk.
Maybe with XM the risk are higher, but the benefits seems to be also higher.
So show your data for a peer review to others.
When the vaccine does not have mortality rate, and those studies are public to be review(as any other medicine),
we can continue speaking about it.Reply May 25, 2014

It seems to me there is a less dangerous route to mitigating this threat. +Hank Johnson has described an XM meta-sensitivity. He is able to sense when he is in the presence or under the influence of XM constructs. If that is a learnable skill then mind hacking could be rendered no more effective than current forms of advertising and influence.
If your research confirms that having evolved in an XM rich environment it has become important for proper mental function then eliminating the side effects of your vaccine may be impossible. I assume 20% fatalities isn't the only side effect you're seeing. How many authors, artists, and engineers among the test subjects are able to continue in their vocation after exposure?
When we discovered the danger electrocution we did not go to war on the electron. The reason electricity is dangerous is because regulated electrical activity is an essential part of our nervous system. Instead we taught people how to use electricity safely and transformed our society to adapt to new tools. Is XM so different?Reply May 25, 2014

+Devra Bogdanovich, you do not address the issue at hand and appeal to emotion instead of focusing on the problem. If you need to destroy the world in order to save it, if there is no other way, and you thought about this properly - meditate. Study the works of art, the literature, the music and the paintings - exchanging one hell for another, is it not the ultimate moral dilemma? Destroying something in order to save it. Civilizations came and went, Devra, and so did species, planets, solar systems, galaxies. Whatever path you take, there's always plenty of suffering, destruction and death. Neither of us can escape it. And neither will. Think about the scars the survivors of your solution to the problem will have to bear and deal with. Think of the problems they will have, Devra. They will not be more free, but still be ruled by the follies and fears that rule supreme now. It'll just be the same cat in a different fur.Reply May 25, 2014
As much as I agree with +Devra Bogdanovich 's view of the danger of the indoctrination of the human mind (obviously KlADA is planning on doing this...) I strongly object the modus operandi of vaccinating billions of humans with a mortality rate of 20% is not worth it.

How can we, humanity, survive and grow through these times, if we do not learn about ourselves? All I see is fear, lies, treachery and betrayal. We know the story of the poetic edda, of Loki, Father of the Wolf, and Ragnarök. There are other mythologies in which the world ends and is reborn in one way or the other. But what happens after Ragnarök, as little as I know the story much less understand it, it is not very encouraging at all: the beginning of another cycle.

+Devra Bogdanovich, a force-administered vaccine seems like an extreme measure at this point. While I will grant that over-exposure to XM is likely detrimental, what constitutes over-exposure. To say that XM is universally harmful - even though humanity has been exposed to it for millennia - seems analogous to saying that codeine is universally bad because it will kill you if you overdose.
Outside of the vaccine trials, have the effect of XM deprivation in human subjects been studied? Perhaps XM is necessary for human life, and the vaccine only happens to be fully effective on 20% of your test population.

I saw the world through my eyes.

It happened in the Summer before Epiphany night with a fairly primitive version of the scanner that ended up in +ben jackland's hands. I don't know what Bowles' role in this was, if any. It is very hard to investigate something when you can not admit that there is a problem.

Even with pinning the time that +ben jackland received the phone to the summer of 2012 there are still many unanswered questions.
For starters, while it's certainly possible that this "summer phone" was not actually Dr. Bogdanovich's, if that is the case, then someone went to a lot of trouble to make it appear to be hers -- the files on the phone, the calls asking for Devra, the leaked memos referring to it as Devra's phone that needed retriving. Why go to all that trouble to set her up as a scapegoat, when at that point in mid-2012, the NIA was not yet in crisis mode? It could be inferred that whoever is behind the leaked phone knew full well that putting it out there would spark that crisis mode, and wanted to lay the groundwork for it, but why target Devra with the blamethrower? Why not, say, +Stein Lightman? In the summer of 2012, Dr. Bogdanovich was the trusted lead scientist on the project, and her objections to the direction the research would take were months from being raised. Curious choice for a scapegoat.
And then there are the memos about the retrieval itself. If Jackland only had the phone for a few days in late July, and +H. Richard Loeb didn't start posting his leaks until the end of October / beginning of November, why does the "Retrieve the Phone" memo posted on 7 Nov 2012 make the two events seem contemporaneous? Five days later, Loeb would post a leaked chat between Calvin and Ni about them springing their own leaks to flush out their mole, but even that "Barium" was never meant to be disinformation, just low consequence leaks balanced against the potential reward of stopping the real source. And even if "Retrieve the Phone" was a memo peppered with inaccuracies, wouldn't Loeb have been aware of them?
Also, when the scanner app leaked on the Play Store, it had ADA-voiced training material that would not have been included in the "primitive version" of the scanner that would have been available in the summer. This is because +Oliver Lynton-Wolfe only developed his techniques for linking and fielding in response to, and as a counter for, the green links and fields being made by Jarvis Entity -patched scanners. But the Jarvis Entity doesn't patch the scanner until the end of the training modules. So, even assuming some non-Niantic Project party got a hold of the scanner software from the summer phone, how did they manage to leapfrog OLW's own research? And is OLW really the one who came up with the "safer" modified blue frequency, or did he just copy observations from the field of what the first Resistance Agents, the ones who downloaded the app on the 15th but declined to patch it, were already building?
Another critical question: what of the Epiphany Night Phone? Is it your claim, +Devra Bogdanovich, that you did not try to escape from ADA's attempts at contact by abandoning a phone on Epiphany Night? Or are you merely saying that any phone you may have parted company with that night has nothing to do with the one +ben jackland bought, aside from the coincidences in the descriptions of their origins? If there was a Niantic-issued phone that was ditched that night, there could still be serious consequences and fallout from that attempt to shake ADA's electronic reach, even though by Epiphany Night, the scanner software had already been in the hands of the public for a couple weeks. Just look at what +Hank Johnson was doing with his November-vintage Niantic-issue scanner device at that same time period: Self-deploying a Level 8 portal in the Congo. That's a trick that the Play Store -leaked app still doesn't allow. If there were two phones, one in summer, and the other on Epiphany Night, I don't think those who worry about XM Tech falling into the hands of the general public will be able to rest any easier,
Finally, there is one question whose answer may unlock the answers to all these other questions. If +ben jackland received the phone and made his videos in the summer of 2012, how was the audio 911 emergency call reporting the murders of Jarvis and Katalena months later playing from his television? It seems increasingly clear that XM and the data it carries exists outside of what we perceive as linear time. If XM carries information from the future into the past, can it allow someone to decide to break causality and change the timeline, to alter the future? If so, does the information carried into the past get changed as well? Have we been in #recursion over the same loop of time, as someone tries to use XM's window into the future to try to shape it?Reply Feb 22, 2014
+Devra Bogdanovich are you saying this "Andrew Onymous on +Niantic Project" is Tycho?Reply Feb 23, 2014
